Mentz’s main duty was operating and maintaining edge-of-field runoff monitoring stations that were designed to measure and sample storm and snowmelt runoff water from farm fields. With experience, he took on additional responsibilities, such as data management, quality assurance, methods development, data analysis, presenting at conferences, grant writing support, grant administration, training and supervision, outreach, and project management.

The engineering design goal for teams is todevelop and construct a single-seat race car for the non-professional weekend autocross racerwith the best overall package of design, safety, construction, performance and cost. One suchimprovement has been the implementation of a telemetry and data acquisition system. Dataacquisition can be further used to improve the performance of the car on the fly.

When the need to design stamping tools is confronted, the necessary theory andskills can be attained more quickly through relationships of common facets of machining andstamping.It has also been well established that the maximum transfer of knowledge occurs whenlearning is as close to the real-world application as possible. Learning in-context alsoimplies, however, that we evaluate knowledge and subsequent performance competencythrough means which are consistent with the context, the depth and the rigor we are seeking.Attempts at evaluating candidates (student) performance by applying traditional means fromuniversity

. We wish to design a system that shifts the student’s motivation away fromthe grade received and towards the building of a knowledge and skill base that will prove usefulin the engineering profession. One way to move towards this goal is through student self-assessment of their work7. This has been shown to promote reflection on the learning processand a shift in motivation towards accomplishing learning objectives. Unfortunately, accurateself-assessment requires maturity and expertise and most studies of self-assessment revealbiases8. Below average performers tend to overestimate their skills while above averageperformers tend to underestimate them

Moreover, the emergence of “big data” across many engineering disciplines has led to the need for training and education related to the collection,management, and analysis of “big data”. We develop an interdisciplinary, active learning module for First-Year Engineering (FYE) programs that combines content from civil, electrical, andcomputer engineering while also familiarizing students with “big data” science. In this learning module, students compare and contrast the challenges of gathering comprehensive and qualitytransportation data through advanced technologies and traditional approaches.
